GEORGE FILLION, OF LAKE LINDEN, MICHIGAN.

SECTIONAL STEAM-BOILER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 538,878, dated February 12, 1 895. I Application filed November 17, 1894. lSerial No. 529,198. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE FILLION, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lake Linden, in the county of Houghton and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Sectional Steam-Boilers and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making. a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The present invention hasrelation to that class of cast-iron sectional boilers used for supplying heating-radiators and for other purposes, and the object thereof is to provide a new arrangement of apparatus and passages for the rising of the water and the circulation thereof through one section to the other,n

whereby the boiler will 'be materially enhanced in value, and rendered both simple and practical. Y

The inventionconsists in a hotwater. furnace and boiler constructed substantially as shown in the drawings and hereinafter dei scribed and claimed.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a sectional elevation of a hot-water furnace and boiler constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2, a horizontal section taken on line a: of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a detail sectionalview taken on line y y. .Y Y

In the accompanying drawings .A reprerents the base or ash-pit which supports any of the well known forms of grate-bars and also supports the water re-boxB of the boiler. This fire-box has the usual door C on one side and upon the opposite side of the fire-box is an inlet D to the water space for the return water from the system. Upon the lire-box B is placedl any number of hollow sections E,

which lare spaced from each other by the lugs o; andthe circulating connecting tubes F.

l The hollow sections are also provided alternately with five and six lues G for the passage of the 'heat and gases, and openings are provided in each section near the side thereof into which are inserted the tubes F, said tubes projecting beyond the sections to assist in supporting same. These connecting tubes F are formed with a diaphragm b which extends diagonally across the same, and when the tube .isv in position, the ends of the diaphragm are at the top and bottom of the hollow section E, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. diaphragm is provided with openings c, and each hollow section E isdivided vertically for The nearly the entir dista ce across by means of which conducts the hot-water tothe system.

The spaces between the sections El are inclosed kby suitable bands L which are preferably of wrought iron, and each band is provided with an ash-door e. These bands not only assist to form the heating spaces between the sections, but also hold each section in place. l

From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that the water entering the boiler through the inlet D will gradually rise-as it becomes heated, passing through one side of the connecting-tube F, through the hollow sections and around the end of .the plate H, thence out through the other side ofthe connecting tube into the next tube inthe sameV manner untill the water outlet pipe K.

passes through the v It will require comparatively little coal to I run the boiler when constructed in accordance with my invention, since nearly every particle of heat is transferred to the water.

Any suitable form of grate may be used and any desirable means employed for operatin01 it.

laving ow fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure b Letters Patent, is

1. In a hot-water boiler, the combination of the hollow sections provided with vertical division-plates, with the connecting tubes having diagonal diaphragms, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

` 2.v In a hot-water boiler, the combination of the hollow sections having supporting lugs, with the connecting tubes extending through and projecting beyond the sections substan tially the same distance as the lugs, whereby spaces are formed for the hot gases, as and for the purpose described.

3. In a hot-Water boiler, the combination of 5 the hollow sections provided with the lugs and projecting connecting tubes extending through and projecting beyond the sections, with the bands for holding said sections in place, substantially as shown and described.

4.. In a hot-water boiler, the combination of the hollow sections provided with the lugs and projecting connecting tubes, with the band for holding the sections in place, and the ash-doors in the bands, substantially as x5 and for the purpose set forth.

GEORGE FILLION.
